Humility

True greatness is accompanied by humility. (Ashley Mahendru, actress)

A Christian college’s theme this year is “Humility Reigns.” Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? If it is to be lived out in the community, it will be because the college family understands what Francisco Javier Beltrán wrote: “To be truly great, we must be willing to put others before ourselves and serve them with love and humility,” Sounds like words from Jesus, doesn’t it?

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. (Philippians 2:3-4)
